How to play Kill My Time: key, chords and progression

Kill My Time by 5 Seconds Of Summer is centred on F major (one flat: B♭). The song uses 4 chords: F, G, A7sus4 and Em7.

The backbone of the song is F – G – A7sus4 – Em7 (I – II – III7sus4 – vii7 in F major). In solfa, that is doh – reh – mi – te. Practise these 4 changes until they feel natural and you can play most of it.

Good to know: on guitar, F needs a barre or movable shape. Take the change into it slowly at first; piano and ukulele players have it easier.
